La Hoja Synopsis
I was approached by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting to make a film about a family of 'cocaleros' (coca farmers). The United Nations has blacklisted the coca leaf since 1961 and in past years has sponsored forced eradication of the plant pointing Bolivia. With the election of Evo Morales, former head of coca growers union, many cocaleros hoped that they finally had someone on their side to defend their plant and their traditions. From this development, I was eager to make a film about the people who were most affected by laws concerning coca.
